Chapter 229: Putting a Hat on Yan Bugui

Hearing Yan Bugui's question, Yi Zhonghai had no way to refute it and nodded to admit that he had done a great job.

Then I heard Yan Bugui continue to say,
"Now that everything is done,
Then why is it that after you heard that I saved some money, you acted like you had suffered a great loss and became so unyielding?

If I can bargain well, that's my own ability.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't have the ability to do this.

I put in the work, so the money I saved should be mine."

Although the statement that salt is not expensive is very logical, if it were any other time, the neighbors would definitely agree.

But who made the neighbors the parties involved now?
Involving self-interest,
Naturally, they will not be reasonable and will only make the choice that is most beneficial to themselves.

"Old Yan, that's not what you said.

Since Lao Yi and Jia Dongxu's money was used to buy food for all the neighbors in our yard, then according to the current saying, this is public funds.
Since it is public funds and you put it into your own pocket, it is embezzlement.

Considering this is a courtyard house, and you are a first-time offender,
You don’t have to pay compensation for this, but you must hand over the money you saved today.”

"That's right, Old Yan, you have to pay this money. This is ours, it's public money, you can't embezzle it!"

……

Seeing that these neighbors not only asked me to pay money, but also accused me of corruption,
This is the first time I have seen someone turn himself into an embezzler by running errands.
Yan Bugui said MMP in his heart.

But even though he felt very painful, he couldn't bear the label of corruption, so he had to agree with it reluctantly.

Yan Bugui took out the money he had saved this morning from his pocket and threw it on the table.
Then he said angrily,
"Okay, I'll pay.
But if you need me to run errands for free in the future, don't ask me to do that. I can't bear the title and I won't serve you anymore."

After handing over the money, Yan Bugui originally wanted to go home directly.
But then he thought again, now that the money was gone, he couldn't go hungry anymore, so he picked up the bowl, sat down and started to turn his grief and anger into appetite.

As soon as Yan Bugui threw the money on the table, Jia Zhang from another table rushed out and put the money into her pocket.

After hearing this, he shouted to Yi Zhonghai,

"Old Yi, you can't buy much with this little money.

Our Dongxu has a low salary, and now he needs to save money for marrying a wife in the future, so this money will be returned to our family."

Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, he saw that he and his men had been entangled with Yan Bugui for a long time. If in the end they were just making wedding clothes for Jia Zhangshi,

The neighbors were disgusted.

So they all looked at Yi Zhonghai, the manager, and waited for him to make a decision first, and then decided what to do themselves.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone was looking at him, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. No matter which side he leaned towards, it would cause dissatisfaction on the other side.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to sacrifice myself.
"Okay, Sister Zhang, since we promised everyone yesterday, we should definitely use the remaining money to buy something and share it with everyone.

As for Dongxu's share,

I will pay for it myself, and you can stop making a fuss, is that okay? " Seeing that the matter had gone around in circles and ended up with her own money, the aunt sitting next to Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a little toothache.
But after all, this was her man's decision, and she couldn't stand up and sabotage it.

Compared to the aunt, the neighbors and Jia Zhang didn't care so much. One side saw that they had benefited a lot, and the other side also got the money, so they were immediately very satisfied.
As for what Yi Zhonghai and his wife were thinking, they didn't care at all.
He even praised Yi Zhonghai.
"Old Yi is indeed a great man. His vision and broad mind are totally incomparable to those like Old Yan and Mrs. Zhang.
No wonder the street government chose him as the manager instead of Old Yan.

It really makes sense.”

"Of course, small business owners are small business owners. They don't have the awareness of the working class like us."

Seeing that he was once again dragged out by his neighbors to be a stepping stone for Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, who was eating, suddenly turned his face black, and then he turned his greater grief and anger into eating more.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't care what Yan Bugui did.
Being praised so highly by his neighbors, he was so happy that he was a little lost.

The problems of money and meat were solved, and the neighbors calmed down.
He began to clear the vegetarian dishes on the table.
At this time, He Yuzhu, the deaf old lady and the others had already eaten their fill. He Yushui even burped the oil that smelled like braised pork towards his brother and asked him if it tasted good.

Seeing He Yushui touching her belly and looking very satisfied after eating,

He Yuzhu silently reached out his hand and gently pinched her little face.

"It smells good. How can it not smell good? If it doesn't smell good, wouldn't it be a waste of money for such good meat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the deaf old lady shook her head and whispered,
"Xiao Yi, this is not right.

It's just a way of smoothing things over, it won't work at all.
Next time something like this happens, the neighbors will definitely make a fuss, and there will be no way to smooth things over then!"

Although the deaf old lady was scolding Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu did not speak up.
He just watched his neighbors' reactions.

After dinner, the women in the courtyard began to clean up the tables and chairs, while He Yuzhu returned home to read for a while.
He waited until the yard was clean and the neighbors came out with benches and mats to enjoy the cool air as usual, then he walked out of the room with the mat.

But he had just walked out of the house,
I saw Yan Bugui did not take his things to the middle courtyard as usual, but was lying at the door of his house.

So he asked with a smile,
"Hey Uncle Yan, why are you staying in the front yard by yourself instead of going to the middle yard to chat with everyone today? I'm really angry!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, I remembered how easily he betrayed me just now.

Yan Bugui snorted coldly and started to criticize him.
"Zhu Zi, you are so disappointing.
Lao Yi and the others just said a few words, and you betrayed me so easily, causing me to lose my money. How could you do this? "

Although Yan Bugui's tone was unkind, He Yuzhu didn't care at all and spread his hands.
"Haha, Uncle Yan, in fact, money has nothing to do with me. Even if I help you win, what good will it do? You don't give me any money.

Why should I do such a thankless task?

If it were you, would you be willing to do it? "

Then Yan Bugui said without hesitation,

"Yes! Of course I won't! Giving you half is better than having nothing now!"

Seeing that he agreed so readily, He Yuzhu didn't believe a word of it.
